FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an architecture of a high-bandwidth memory HBM system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for a function-in-HBM (“Function-in-memory”) (FIM) HBM system 100 and an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) extension for HBM. The HBM system 100 supports additional computational resources to be integrated in the HBM 110. For example, in various embodiments, the HBM system 100 allows for some data computations and movements to be performed in-memory, and also provides a high-capacity scratchpad. The HBM system 100 includes at least one HBM 110 connected to a GPU 170. In various embodiments, the HBM 110 includes a DRAM 120 (e.g. one or more DRAM dies) and a logic component 130 (e.g. a logic die). In various embodiments, the logic component 130 includes a controller 140, an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) 150, and an SRAM 160, and the GPU 170 includes a HBM memory controller 180 for interfacing with the HBM 110.

According to various embodiments, the controller 140 is configured to coordinate the execution of instructions from the GPU 170. The instructions may include both regular instructions and FIM instructions. For example, regular instructions (e.g. traditional load and store functions, not function-in-HBM instructions) are sent by the HBM memory controller 180 and received by the controller 140 and executed in a conventional manner. In other examples, the controller 140 coordinates the execution of in-memory functions (e.g. FIM instructions). For example, the controller 140 may execute data movement operations (e.g. a load/store pair instructions). In some examples, controller 140 may execute FIM instructions that were originally a plurality of regular instructions. For example, the controller 140 may coordinate the execution of computational FIM instructions that utilize the ALU 150 (e.g. atomic instructions and ALU instructions). In these cases, the controller 140 coordinates the execution of these instructions by retrieving data from the DRAM 120 and providing the data (and ALU operation) to the ALU 150 for processing. The result is then stored in the DRAM 120 or may be returned to the GPU 170. In some examples, the FIM instruction includes one or more ALU instruction that has been paired with a load or store instruction. In another embodiment, the controller 140 is also configured to coordinate the execution of scratchpad read and write instructions. Each of these types of FIM functions will be discussed in detail below.

According to various embodiments, the ALU 150 is configured for executing various computational operations (e.g. simple compute commands). For example, the ALU 150 may be a 32-bit ALU configured for executing arithmetic operations, bitwise, shift operations, and the like. For example, the ALU 150 may be configured to execute ADD, SUBTRACT, EXCHANGE, MAX, MIN, INCREMENT, DECREMENT, COMPARE-AND-SWAP, AND, OR, and XOR operations. The ALU 150 may be utilized for atomic and non-atomic operations. In various embodiments, the controller 140 provides operations and manages the input of data to the ALU 150 and the output of data from the ALU 150 to the DRAM 120. In other embodiments the ALU 150 is capable of retrieving data and storing data directly in the DRAM 120. In other embodiments, the controller 140 is responsible for retrieving and storing data from/in the DRAM 120.

According to various embodiments, the SRAM 160 is configured as a low latency scratchpad. In some embodiments, the SRAM 160 may share the same command/address (CA) and Data (DQ) interfaces with the DRAM 120, and in other embodiments, the SRAM 160 may have its own CA and DQ interfaces. In various embodiments, the SRAM 160 includes its own address range that is distinct from the DRAM's 120 address range. The controller 140 may use an incoming read/write instruction's address to determine if the request is a scratchpad operation. In other embodiments, the GPU 170 may send specifically designated scratchpad instructions to the controller 140. When a command utilizes the SRAM 160, the controller 140 may alter its timing parameters to operate according to the SRAM's 160 timing parameters (e.g. faster/lower latency than DRAM 120 timing parameters). Use of the SRAM 160 may be designated by a user (e.g. a programmer) and space in the SRAM 160 may be allocated during runtime. In operation, the scratchpad may operate similar to a GPU's L1 scratchpad (e.g. providing low latency memory). Since the GPU's L1 scratchpad is typically small (15 kB per core), an extended HBM scratchpad (e.g. the SRAM 160) allows for improved performance over utilizing DRAM 120.

According to various embodiments, a FIM ISA is provided for utilizing the added resources available in the HBM 110. For example, the FIM ISA may extend previous instruction sets to allow for operations that include computational FIM instructions (e.g. FIM atomic instructions and FIM ALU instructions), data movement FIM instructions, and FIM scratchpad instructions. Each FIM instruction includes a FIM designator identifying the instruction as FIM, an operation or operations for execution by the HBM, and data locations (e.g. registers, memory, provided constants, etc.). In one embodiment, a FIM instruction may be formatted as: <designator>.<operation>.<data location 1> <data location 2>.

In various embodiments, an instruction may be designated as a FIM instruction by a user (e.g. a programmer), by the compiler, or by the GPU. For example, in some programming languages, a user may designate the location (e.g. in-memory, the GPU, or a CPU) of where an operation takes place or what memory is utilized. In another example, a compiler may be configured to identify commands that can be done in the HBM 110 and prioritize doing FIM commands in the HBM 110 over the GPU 170. In another example, the GPU 170 may analyze the source and destination memory addresses to determine whether a FIM instruction is available. In some cases, the GPU 170 may analyze the memory addresses and determine that at least one of the addresses is located in the GPU cache or other non-HBM memory, in these cases, a normal instruction will be executed (e.g. a non-FIM instruction).

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the processing of instructions from a FIM Instruction Set Architecture (ISA).

According to various embodiments, the GPU 170 is configured to send instructions to the HBM 110 (S200). The GPU 170 includes the HBM controller 180 that processes and sends the requests to the HBM 110 and handles any return information. In some embodiments, the HBM controller 180 may also verify that a FIM instruction is appropriate by evaluating the locations of the memory addresses in the FIM instruction. For example, when the address are on different HBMs or if one of the addresses is for the GPU's 170 cache local cache, the FIM instruction may not be appropriate. In some embodiments, verifying the FIM instruction may be done in an earlier GPU pipeline stage before being sent to the HBM 110. For example, in some embodiments, the GPU local cache controller may verify that the FIM instruction is appropriate. The HBM 110 receives the FIM instruction at the logic component 130 (S210). The controller 140 processes the instruction and coordinates the execution. The controller 140 may which includes, verifying that the instruction is a FIM instruction and determines the operation of the instruction (S220). For example, the controller will determine if the instruction is a computational instruction utilizing the ALU 150, whether it is a move instruction, or whether it is a scratchpad instruction. The controller 140 then coordinates the execution of the instruction by either completing the instruction itself (e.g. a move instruction) or by employing the requisite logic hardware (e.g. the ALU 150 or the SRAM 160) (S230).

According to various embodiments, the ISA includes computational instructions. In various embodiments, the controller 140 receives the computational instructions and coordinates their execution on the ALU 150. The computational instructions may include FIM atomic instructions and FIM ALU instructions.

According to various embodiments, the HBM 110 is configured to process FIM atomic instructions using the FIM ISA. Atomic instructions may generally be decomposed into three steps: reading data from a memory location; performing a function on the data (e.g. ADD, SUBTRACT, etc.); and writing the resulting data back to some memory location. Upon receiving a FIM atomic instruction, the HBM 110 can execute all three steps internally. To complete the instruction, in some embodiments, the FIM atomic instruction includes additional information sent by the GPU 170 to the HBM 110 when compared to a conventional atomic instruction. For example, the GPU 170 may send a FIM atomic instruction that includes an atomic operation, a data type, a destination register, a source register, a reference register (e.g. for compare-and-swap functions), a memory address, and a function type.

According to various embodiments, the controller 140 receives a FIM atomic instruction from the GPU's HBM controller 180. The controller 140 reads the instruction and determines it is a FIM instruction using the FIM designator. The controller 140 uses the operation to determine the instruction is a FIM atomic instruction. Besides signaling that the function is a FIM atomic instructions, the operation also indicates the type of function to be performed by the ALU 150 (e.g. atomic add, atomic compare-and-swap; atomic OR, etc.) and type of data being operated on (e.g. 32-bit signed integer; 32-bit unsigned integer; etc.). The controller 140 then reads the data from the provided data location and provides the data to the ALU 150 along with the function. The ALU 150 performs the function on the data and the result is stored at the original data location.

In one example, the general format of the FIM atomic instruction is: fim.atom.<function>.<data type> <destination register> <memory address> <source register or constant> <reference register>. Table 1 includes some example functions with example values.

TABLE 1 Example FIM Atomic Instructions Function Example FIM Instruction General Format fim.atom.<function><data location 1><data location 2> ADD fim.atom.add.u32 % r6, [% rl3], −10 Exchange fim.atom.exch.b32 % r7, [% rl4], % r4 Find Max fim.atom.max.s32 % r8, [% rl5], % r4 Find Min fim.atom.min.s32 % r9, [% rl6], % r4 Increment fim.atom.inc.u32 % r10, [% rl7], 17 Decrement fim.atom.dec.u32 % r11, [% rl8], 137 Compare-And-Swap fim.atom.cas.b32 % r13, [% rl9], % r12, % r4 AND fim.atom.and.b32 % r17, [% rl10], % r16 OR fim.atom.or.b32 % r19, [% rl11], % r18 XOR fim.atom.xor.b32 % r20, [% rl12], % r4

In various embodiments, FIM instruction ISA includes instructions for FIM ALU instructions. Typical operations performed by the GPU may require accompanying load and store instructions to pull necessary data from memory and place the results. In some embodiments, the FIM ALU instructions can collapse traditional function plus accompanying load and store instructions into a single FIM ALU instruction. In one example, the general format of the FIM ALU instruction includes a FIM designator, an operation with an ALU operation and a paired load/store operation; and at least one data location. For example, the FIM ALU instruction may be formatted: fim.<function>.<load/store> <destination register> <source register > <load register>. For example, an ALU instruction may be paired with a load and/or store instruction(s) as shown in Table 2:

TABLE 2 Example FIM ALU Load/Store Instructions Non-FIM instruction Example FIM Instruction Id $r1, [$r2] fim.add.Id $r3, $r0, [$r2] add $r3, $r0, $r1 add $r3, $r0, $r1 fim.add.st [$r2], $r0, $r1 st [$r2], $r3

In one example, the operation of a FIM ALU instruction is similar to the operation of the FIM atomic instructions. For example, according to various embodiments, the controller 140 receives a FIM ALU instruction from the GPU's HBM controller 180. The controller 140 reads the instruction and determines it is a FIM instruction using the FIM designator. The controller 140 uses the operation to determine the instruction is a FIM ALU instruction and the type of function to be performed by the ALU 150 (e.g. add, exchange, MIN, MAX, OR, etc.). The controller 140 then reads the data from the provided data location and provides the data to the ALU 150 along with the function. The ALU 150 performs the function on the data and the result is stored at the original or indicated data location.

In various embodiments, HBM 110 and FIM ISA are configured for FIM move instructions. A move instruction may be identified as a load instruction paired with a corresponding store instruction. When the address of the load and store are located within the same HBM, the function may be executed in-memory. In various embodiments, the paired load and store functions may be merged into a single FIM move instruction. Table 3 shows an example load/store instruction.

TABLE 3 Example FIM move instruction Non-FIM instruction Example FIM instruction Id $r1, [$r2] fim.mov [$r3], [$r2] st [$r3], $r1

Upon receiving the FIM move instruction, the controller 140 recognizes that the instruction is a FIM instruction due to the FIM designator and that the operation is a move operation. The controller 140 then reads the data from the source address and stores the data in the destination address. In various embodiments, the compiler may be configured to identify pairs of load and store instructions that can be condensed into a single FIM move instruction as shown in Table 3. In various embodiments, the GPU 170 may also analyze the move instruction before sending the instruction to the HBM 110 and determine if the FIM move instruction is appropriate. For example, the GPU 170 (e.g. at the HBM controller 180) may analyze the source and destination memory addresses and determine if one of the addresses is in the GPU cache. In this example, the GPU 170 will split the instruction into normal load and store instructions.

In various embodiments, the HBM 110 and FIM ISA are configured to utilize the SRAM 160 as a low latency scratchpad. In various embodiments, the controller 140 is configured to identify FIM scratchpad instructions. As discussed above, the SRAM 160 includes a specific address range that is distinct from the DRAM's 120 address range. The controller 140 is configured to identify whether a request corresponds to a DRAM 120 memory address or a SRAM 160 memory address. In various embodiments, the ISA includes specific scratchpad commands. For example, the ISA may include a FIM read scratchpad (e.g. FIM.RD_SP) and a FIM write scratchpad command (e.g. FIM.WR_SP). In his example, the controller 140 may not evaluate the memory address of an incoming command.

SRAM 160 operates with lower latency (e.g. is faster) than DRAM 120. The scratchpad, therefore, may render the HBM 110 nondeterministic with regards to data load and store times. In various embodiments, the controller 140 is configured to coordinate the execution of the instructions by operating according to the DRAM's 120 timing parameters when executing DRAM memory related functions and according to the SRAM's 160 timing parameters during SRAM memory functions (e.g. FIM scratchpad instructions). Therefore when a FIM scratchpad instruction is received, the controller 140 may adjust its timing parameters to correspond the SRAM's 160 timing parameters and execute the FIM read/write scratchpad command.

In various embodiments, a user defines data structures that utilize the SRAM 160 as a low latency scratchpad. Once the user has defined a data structure as using the scratchpad, the compiler will translate the request to include a specifier (e.g. Ilsp in assembly) and the GPU 170 will allocate the space in the HBM 110 accordingly.

Accordingly, the above described embodiments of the present disclosure provide a high-bandwidth memory (HBM) system and instruction set architecture (ISA).
